    Factory bumper hitch?

    Just get a B&W hitch. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Chevrolet/C/K+Series+Pickup/1984/BWHDRH25122.html?VehicleID=198422501 It will clear the step bumper and you can still use the spare tire underneath. They include a relocation bracket for the spare tire. I looked at my B&W hitch and it...

    Good trailer Hitch Receiver?

    It looks like it is mounted up with their own brackets. Looks pretty sturdy.

    Looking for a new dash

    I know. The prices on these stock replacement pads are way too high considering they are most likely made in a sweat shop in China, but a custom pad would look way out of place on my otherwise bone stock truck, so stock it will have to be.

    Yeah, at least I have just enough information to find out the specs on it. Thanks for all the help.

    Good trailer Hitch Receiver?

    I just did some googling and it looks like FEY is a non OEM Bumper with 800lb tongue weight and 8,000 trailer weight. I never expected it to have this high of a rating, so I think I'll just stick to this bumper hitch. http://www.westinautomotive.com/fey-diamond-step-bumpers

    The weight sticker is mostly gone, but I was actually able to make out the tongue rating of 800 lbs. Made by FEY. This rating is a lot higher than I expected. It might be ok for my needs after all.

    Retro looking new Chevy trucks

    I like the look but hate wrapped vehicles. Takes only a year before the sun takes its toll on them.

    Good trailer Hitch Receiver?

    Can anyone recommend a good quality trailer hitch receiver for my 1987 with step bumper? I'm looking for good quality, easy, no drill installation. It just has a bumper hitch on it now. Anyone have a guess on the tongue rating it currently has with this bumper?

    Wheel balancing rant

    You are better off using Equal in the tires instead of weights for large, difficult to balance tires. Its can be a tedious job balancing some tires. I've had vibration issues that couldn't even get resolved using road force balancers.

    Favorite tool brand?

    Snap-on and USA Craftsman. If I have to go cheap, Gearwrench.

    MagnaFlow vs Flowmaster vs Straight Pipes

    I have always had good luck with dynomax. Good sound without being overly loud and no drone. Flowmasters cost too much power.

    Looking for a new dash

    I plan on ordering a the stock appearance pad from Cheyenne truck parts unless there is a better option out there. From my research, they seem to be the best.

    I was thinking about getting the saddle blanket type. What makes them so bad?
